• Notes

  Alcalde of San Jose in 1821, he was the last alcalde before San Jose transferred from Spanish to Mexican rule. "In 1797 eight colonists arrived to begin the ill-fated pueblo of Branciforte (today's Santa Cruz). These included Jose Ignacio Acedo, Jose Maria Arceo, Jose Barbosa, Jose Vicente Moxica, Jose Agustin Narvaez and Jose Antonio Robles, all probably from Jalisco." [Alexander V. King, citation details below]
